the album cover for Ed Welch - Clowns [With Booklet] [Digipak]

Overlooked 1971 album from classically trained British composer Ed Welch, featuring lyrics by American folk icon Tom Paxton. Welch's sophisticated arrangements, from refined orchestration to elegant piano-led melodies, meet Paxton's warm, inviting words across ten songs that move effortlessly between upbeat pop and tender balladry. Often compared to the Elton John/Bernie Taupin partnership, the Welch-Paxton collaboration produced songs later covered by Cilla Black. This first-ever reissue, produced by Michael de Albuquerque and remastered by Prof. Stoned, includes two non-album A & B sides and an 8-page booklet with liner notes by Xander Pas and recollections from George and Michael de Albuquerque.

Tracklist:

  1. Clowns
  2. Maybe It's Today
  3. I Couldn't Wait to Tell You
  4. Smile Like a Movie Star
  5. It's Another Beautiful Day
  6. It's All Down to You
  7. What Did I Do That Was Wrong
  8. Down in the City
  9. Show Me the Way to Your Heart
  10. The Bird Song
  11. We Can Make It
  12. It Ain't Easy (But I'll Try) [Single A-Side]
  13. Fridays [Single B-Side]
  14. I Should Have Been a Lady [Single A-Side]
  15. All the Way to Richmond [Single B-Side]
